Romans 8:26-39

Aug 31, 2025    Bruce Gordon

This sermon explores Romans 8:26-39, examining the profound truth of God's sovereign work in believers' lives while addressing the tension between divine sovereignty and human free will. The pastor explains how the Holy Spirit intercedes for believers in their weakness, searching their hearts and making intercession according to God's will. The message emphasizes that God works all things together for good for those who love Him, not that all things are good, but that God superintends circumstances to ultimately benefit His children. The sermon tackles the challenging doctrine of predestination, presenting both Calvinist and Arminian perspectives while encouraging believers to trust God's sovereign plan rather than becoming divided over theological debates. The conclusion powerfully affirms that nothing—not tribulation, distress, persecution, or any created thing—can separate believers from God's love in Christ Jesus, making them "more than conquerors."
